The boys and I met Aunt Kelsey, Baby Gryphon, and Grandma at the Children's Museum today. It went really well, but I think every one of us was exhausted when we left.
I was totally inspired by the 'Cookie Cafe'. It smelled SOOO wonderful I want to bake some Christmas Cookies!! Jack watched a short program about Frosty the Snowman, and was a really good listener and helper when they needed volunteers to 'build' Frosty.
They both crashed as soon as we got home. Thank goodness we were home in about 10 minutes. Blake is gone tonight so I'm deciding to go out to the grocery with my little Buckaroos or to head to the library. Right now, I'm going to rest and watch a library VHS tape on matting and framing. I love those old '80s tapes!!
My Boys is a story of my treasured sons, Jack and Norman, as well as my awesome husband, Blake. There's also a few tidbits about me, Shannon, along the way.

Didn't Get Let Down
The boys did not let me down this morning. I had yet another mess first thing this morning. Jack has been waking curiously early and crawling into bed with us, like 4 a.m. Anyway, when Blake gets ready for work, Jack wakes up and stays up. I would be a zombie if I woke that early every day. So as Jack is awake, and I am trying to rest my eyes, he finds certain kinds of mischief to get into.
Today's mischief was squirting lotion all over the changing table and throwing everything that was on top, all over their floor. When I was able to peel open my eyes for the day and stumble into their room, I thought, great.
Also of note, Norman had their soft, red Elmo chair in his crib with him. I wonder what joys there will be tomorrow.

I'm so glad I get to do this day after day
So day after day, it's the same thing right. Today right after I prayed for breakfast, which I prayed for extra patience and that I wouldn't kill the boys today, this is what happened:
Jack spilled his cereal bowl and all the milk. No use crying over spilled milk, right? Then Norman starts crying and throws his sippy cup onto the floor. It was the kind that leaks, so now there is OJ all over. Norman continues to cry and stand up in his seat.
And tomorrow, I get to do the same thing all over again, joy.
